I am not sure, but i know EVDO is out
my question is that, if i am just using my blackberry as a phone no data currently, am i able to upgrade to EVDO or will it have to stay on 1x.. yes this may sounds dumb but, when i went into a bell world the girl was no help and tried to sell me a data plan..

You need to update the software on your device to 4.1. Refer to Mark's FAQ at the top of the forum for details on where to download.

Once you have 4.1, on Bell you'll need to visit a Bell store to have the latest PRL installed. Your device won't connect to the EVDO network without the correct PRL. The store also installs a mobility update which enables modem tethering.

The EvDO signals have been coming and going within Waterloo for about a week now; there is clearly some pre-deployment testing going on. The other day I benchmarked my tethered connection in Waterloo at 356kbs down and 52kbps up.

The EvDO rollout across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and St. Catherines is scheduled for completion between December 15th and December 31st of this year. Between now and then we should start seeing the EvDO signals more frequently and in more areas as the testing and rollout moves forward.

I know Telus has EV-DO in Guelph and Bell does not as of today. So far Bell has been restricted to major city centers e.g. GTA and Kitchener. Do your rollout dates include Bell? Thx.
